1 : an Instrument to measure Gamma Ray Bursts Polarisation COST 9 May 2012 Neal Gauvin (Neal.Gauvin@unige.ch) On behalf of the collaboration Members : NCBJ Świerk, Poland IHEP, Beijing China PSI, Villigen, Switzerland DPNC, Université de Genève, Switzerland ISDC, Université de Genève, Switzerland

2 What are Gamma Ray Bursts? Gamma ray bursts (GRB) are flashes of gamma rays randomly distributed in the sky and time. Brightest events in the universe since Big Bang some releasing more energy in 10 seconds than what the Sun will emit in its entire 10 billion year lifetime! About 1 GRB/day observed Neal Gauvin COST meeting 2

3 Gamma Ray Bursts Spectrum usually described by a class of functions similar to a broken power law Pre-burst Prompt emission Light-curves, although very different from GRB to GRB, show three parts: Pre-burst Prompt emission (γ, X,ν?) Broadband long-lasting afterglow (X,optical,radio) Two main models of GRB origin : Merging of binary neutron stars into black hole short GRB < 2-5 s Hypernova: high-mass star collapsing into black hole long GRB > 5 s Neal Gauvin COST meeting Typical light-curve 3

4 Origin of GRBs The GRB is produced by internal dissipation within the relativistic jet launched from the centre of the explosion. The afterglow is the synchrotron emission of electrons accelerated in a collision-less shock Neal of Gauvin meeting driven by the interaction the jetcost with the surrounding medium (Zhang 2007). 4

5 Importance of Polarisation The emission mechanism of prompt signal (and the origin and structure of magnetic fields in GRBs) is an open question. In spite of extensive observational efforts, these questions are difficult or even impossible to infer with the spectral and lightcurve information currently collected. Polarimetric observations of GRBs can address the following: Magnetic composition of GRB jets It is highly speculated that strong magnetic fields are generated at the GRB central engine, and may play an essential role in the launch of the relativistic jets. However, it is unclear whether the burst emission region is penetrated by a globally structured, dynamically important magnetic field, and whether the burst is due to shock dissipation or magnetic reconnection (Lyutikov et al. 2003). Geometric structure of GRB jets Although it is generally believed that GRB outflows are collimated, the distribution of the jet opening angles, the observer s viewing direction, and whether there are small-scale structures within the global jet are not well understood. Emission mechanisms of the bursts They can be constrained by using the statistical properties of GRB polarisations Neal Gauvin COST meeting 5

6 Emission mechanisms of GRBs...Emission mechanisms of the bursts can be constrained by using the statistical properties of GRB polarisations Synchrotron emission from relativistic electrons in a globally ordered magnetic field carried from the central engine (Lyutikov et al. 2003), or random magnetic fields generated in-situ in the shock dissipation region (Rees & Mészáros 1994). Other suggestions : Compton drag of ambient soft photons ( Lazzati et al. 2004), synchrotron self-compton emission (Panaitescu & Meszaros 2000), Polarisation (60-500keV) The leading models are : K. Toma et al., ApJ 2009 Synchrotron ordered Synchrotron random Compton drag the combination of a thermal component from the photosphere and a non-thermal component (e.g., synchrotron) (Ioka et al. 2007).

7 GRBs Theoretical Model Polarisation Predictions Fireball Model high values excluded Plin ~ % Cannonball Model full range possible Plin = 0-100% Electromagnetic Model well defined, moderate Plin ~ 50 % From M.Lyutikov, 2003 See papers discussing various models: T.Piran, A.Dar, M.Lyutikov, D.Eichler, G.Ghisellini, D.Lazzatti, M.Medvedev, E.Rossi, Kenji Tomas etc. Neal Gauvin COST meeting 7

8 Actual Experimental Situation So far, polarisation measurement has been neglected. Only one conclusive measurement : GAP on board IKAROS. GRB A 27±11 % (2.9 σ CL). Other find mostly important polarisation, but systematic effects poses difficult problems : Coburn Boggs 2003 GRB ±20% Proven wrong. Final correct (Wigger) 30±30% BATSE using Earth reflection GRB > 30% GRB > 50%. Difficult to trust because of systematics due to Earth atmosph. sim. INTEGRAL GRB A 96±40%. Cannot exclude Systematic effects. SPI GRB <60% An other group (Goetz at al) find time varying polarisation Solid INTEGRAL measurement of Crab nebula polarisation 46±10% Neal Gauvin COST meeting 8
